The Malagueta beach

A trip to Malaga wouldn’t be complete without taking the time to dive into one of its turquoise-water treasures. And of course, we’re talking about the Malagueta beach. Thanks to its unbeatable location just 10 minutes from the city centre, La Malagueta is easily one of the most popular beaches among both locals and tourists. To be clear, this is Málaga’s main beach, and you’ll quickly understand the hype. Stretching 1,200 meters along a beautiful promenade dotted with palm trees, this little slice of Andalusian paradise is the perfect place to soak up some vitamin D and breathe in the salty sea air. Soon, you’ll find yourself completely recharged on this beach, which has earned a ‘Blue Flag’ designation, a prestigious international label awarded to beaches meeting the highest sustainability standards. The coastline begins near the city’s main lighthouse and extends for nearly two kilometers, setting the perfect scene for a sunset jog or a leisurely stroll on the sand. Now, let’s try something together, close your eyes and let the sound of the waves wash over you as you imagine your feet sinking into the soft sand, each grain glinting like tiny flecks of gold. In this very moment, everything feels right, and you are in perfect harmony with nature.
